Last I checked the Jello brand had a kosher parve one. They also should have some in your local kosher market.
Thanks so much!
I can’t wait to try this recipe, but I can’t find an instant chocolate pudding mix that is kosher and parev. Can you please recommend one? Thanks.
I will make it for shabbos, and for me I will use four to six overcooked cauliflower florets and all ingredients as shown with sugarfree products.
You can try coco powder and sugar but I Havent tried it without the pudding mix which adds some texture. I guess we need to get back into the kitchen and see if we can do one without pudding – will keep you posted.
I live I the UK and we do but have a chocolate pudding mix – are there any substitutes for this? If so what quantity …. Thanks
Half cup, sorry about that 🙂
Finally a quick and easy recipe for bread/challah pudding. I look forward to trying this one.
Please clarify how much Chocolate Liqueur to use – 1/2 ?
Thank you.
